Qvera

What Qvera does

Qvera, LLC is a privately held healthcare interoperability company headquartered in Kaysville, Utah, founded circa 2015 and led by CEO Sam Shapiro and CTO Ron Shapiro. The company builds the Qvera Interface Engine (QIE), a healthcare data exchange platform that translates medical information between disparate EHRs, imaging systems, health information exchanges, and cloud data stores using HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA, DICOM, X12, ASTM, and other healthcare standards. Qvera serves hospitals, health systems, ambulatory clinics, HIEs, prescription drug monitoring programs, and public health initiatives; named customers include QuadMed, Revere Health, The Oregon Clinic, Virginia Women's Center, AllianceChicago, and Healthcare Access San Antonio.

QIE is offered in two editions: QIE Enterprise Edition, a subscription product with unlimited throughput sold via quote-based direct sales, and QIE Standard Edition, a free edition limited by throughput and number of running interfaces that functions as a freemium acquisition channel for small clinics. The company complements the engine with the DICOM Router for medical imaging workflows, a PDMP integration package for prescription monitoring, professional Integration Services ranging from SOWs to fully-managed interfaces, and the 2024-launched Qvera AI Companion for developer productivity. QIE 4.0 (2020) introduced native cloud deployment on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud via Docker and Kubernetes, and the platform integrates with Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, Allscripts, MEDITECH, GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, Carequality, and state immunization registries.

Qvera monetizes primarily through Enterprise Edition subscriptions and Integration Services professional engagements, with Standard Edition serving as a free lead-generation funnel. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding, holds SOC 2 Type 2 (December 2024), HIMSS IIP, ConCert by HIMSS, and HIMSS22 Cybersecurity credentials, and participates in HL7 International, IHE USA, HIMSS, and the Da Vinci Project as a standards contributor. Qvera has been recognized by KLAS Research as the only interface engine with full cloud support and by Black Book Research as the #1 Interface Engine for client satisfaction in 2016 and 2017.

Core offering

Qvera develops and sells the Qvera Interface Engine (QIE), a healthcare interoperability platform that translates medical data between EHR systems, medical imaging systems, and data exchanges using HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA, DICOM, X12, ASTM, and other healthcare standards. The company also offers the DICOM Router for intelligent imaging workflow automation and Integration Services for professional implementation support, selling primarily to hospitals, health systems, ambulatory clinics, and Health Information Exchanges.

Product overview

Qvera offers a unified healthcare interoperability platform centered on the Qvera Interface Engine (QIE), which serves as the core product for secure, scalable healthcare data exchange. The product portfolio includes three main offerings: QIE (the flagship HL7 Interface Engine available in Enterprise and free Standard editions), the DICOM Router (for medical imaging connectivity), and Integration Services (professional implementation services). QIE supports comprehensive healthcare standards including HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA, DICOM, X12, and ASTM, connecting disparate healthcare systems including EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, and others), medical imaging systems, cloud healthcare platforms, and public health registries. The platform is available for cloud deployment with full support for Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Healthcare API, and offers a free Standard Edition for small clinics with limited throughput requirements. Additional offerings include the AI Companion assistant for QIE automation and a PDMP integration package for prescription monitoring.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Lyniate (Rhapsody / Corepoint): Lyniate is the leading independent vendor of healthcare interoperability engines, formed by merging Rhapsody and Corepoint. It is the closest direct competitor to Qvera's QIE, serving the same hospitals, HIEs, and ambulatory clinics with HL7 v2, FHIR, and X12 integration.
• NextGen Healthcare (Mirth Connect): NextGen acquired Mirith Connect, one of the most widely deployed open-source interface engines in healthcare. It competes head-to-head with QIE on HL7/FHIR integration, especially among ambulatory and mid-market customers.
• iNTERFACEWARE (Iguana): iNTERFACEWARE's Iguana is an enterprise-grade healthcare integration engine with HL7, FHIR, and X12 capabilities. It directly competes with QIE in hospitals and integration-services-led engagements.

Broad incumbents

• InterSystems (HealthShare / IRIS): InterSystems offers HealthShare and the IRIS data platform for healthcare interoperability and FHIR-based exchange. It is a larger, established incumbent competing across HIE, payer, and provider markets with a broader portfolio than Qvera.
• Google Cloud Healthcare API: Google Cloud's managed FHIR, HL7v2, and DICOM data store is a cloud-native interoperability platform. Qvera integrates with it, but it also represents an alternative path for health systems that prefer to consume interoperability as a hyperscaler service.
• Microsoft Azure Health Data Services: Microsoft's Azure Health Data Services (formerly Azure API for FHIR) is a managed cloud platform for healthcare data exchange. It is both a partner and a broad incumbent that competes with Qvera's on-prem and cloud interface engine capabilities.
• AWS HealthLake: AWS HealthLake is a managed FHIR-based data store and interoperability service from Amazon Web Services. It competes for the same cloud-interoperability budgets as Qvera's cloud-deployed QIE, particularly among large IDNs.

Emerging players

• 1upHealth: 1upHealth is a FHIR-native interoperability platform focused on payers, providers, and app developers. It overlaps with Qvera's FHIR and HIE use cases, especially for value-based care and CMS interoperability rule compliance.
• Redox: Redox provides a healthcare API platform for EHR integration, used by digital health developers and health systems. It targets overlapping Qvera use cases (EHR data exchange, FHIR) but via an API-first model rather than a traditional interface engine.
• Health Gorilla: Health Gorilla operates a clinical network and interoperability platform spanning HIEs, labs, and EHRs. It overlaps with Qvera's HIE and clinical-data-exchange use cases, especially under TEFCA and CMS interoperability mandates.
